Track-by-Track Insights From Frontman Pep Suasi
1. As Musicians
Joan Toni ‘Skarabat’ contributes this American-rooted pop-folk piece examining music industry realities. “It’s both criticism and tribute to our profession,” explains Suasi. “Most venues pay poorly if at all, leaving musicians financially precarious. We’re fortunate to have 30 booked performances for 2026 – that’s exceptional in today’s climate.”
2. Sunflowers
The emotional centerpiece honors mentor Angelo Borrás. “He revolutionized our approach to composition,” Suasi reveals. “His work with Sunflowers and Mané Capilla pushed Catalan pop forward technically and emotionally. Personally, he radiated warmth – someone impossible not to love.”
3. Dances of This Dance
Marc Grasas’ composition embodies Suasi’s collaborative philosophy. “Our strength comes from five distinct songwriters uniting creatively,” says Suasi. “This rearview meditation on unresolved memories demonstrates why I’m proud to interpret my bandmates’ work.”
4. The Most Beautiful Song in the World
This folk-inspired track weaves three love stories against subtle Beatles references. “It’s about life’s sacred moments,” Suasi explains. “Personally, Josep Thió’s ‘Sorra i aigua’ has soundtracked my journey – that raw authenticity inspires us.”
5. How Time Passes
‘Skarabat’ returns with a Beatles-esque meditation on aging. “It requests dignity in our final chapters,” says Suasi. The track features traditional music innovators Pitxorines, continuing Suasi’s pattern of collaborating with cultural torchbearers like punk revivalist Dan Peralbo.
6. The World Is Filtered
A biting critique of social media’s psychological toll. “We’re trading authenticity for algorithmic approval,” observes Suasi. Paradoxically, the band embraces digital distribution: “We’re investing seriously in online platforms while calling out their dangers – artists must navigate this tension.”
7. Don’t Get So Angry
Folk-rock energy underscores this call for perspective. “Modern life bombards us with reasons to rage,” notes Suasi. “This track channels our collective decision to reject unnecessary stress – musical therapy for turbulent times.”
8. It Is Alarmed in August
The closing track personifies summer’s healing power. “After harsh winters, August arrives with light and sea air,” Suasi poetically describes. “True healing comes when songs flow from hearts rather than trained voices.”
Industry Context & Tour Details
Suasi’s debut arrives amid challenging conditions for Catalan musicians. Data from Spain’s Institute of Cultural Statistics shows only 42% of professional musicians earn sustainable income nationally. Their 30-date 2026 tour schedule – including immersive 360º shows – represents significant industry traction. Music journalist Elena Martín notes: “Suasi’s collaborative model and thematic depth could revitalize Mallorca’s indie scene.”
